Hi Michael,
I believe this particular implementation will be unreliable. Section anchors are quite
fragile. All it will take is for someone to change this:
===3rd Class===
to this:
===Third Class===
and your automatic links (anchors) will break. Likewise, if you have two identical section
headings on a page, you won't be able to link to the second one: anchors will always
jump to the first one.
Instead of this particular implementation, I recommend going back to your basic business
needs. At first glance, it looks like you want readers to be able to jump back and forth
easily between prose and reference material, and you want to track which docs still need
to be written. But even that is a particular implementation. Who is your audience? What
tasks are they trying to do (which your wiki is supposed to help with)? Tell us those
basic requirements, instead of prescribing a solution, and see what people can come up
with.
My two cents,
